After the cannon fodder of the Hou Mansion read my voice, he went on a killing spree.

"I don't know about the food and fodder matter. Your father personally handled this matter, and the final decision was made by the emperor. I also received the imperial edict on temporary deployment."

Huo Hongye received a letter from his sister and learned that there was a shortage of food and grass on the border.

The last batch of food and grass was robbed by barbarians, and now we are about to run out of food here.

He was also very anxious at the time and immediately entered the palace, intending to ask for orders.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Chushan was also in the palace. After the emperor saw him, he directly issued an order for him to immediately go to the border with food, and he also took the waterway.

Huo Hongye was also full of questions at that time and wanted to ask Qiao Chushan.

But I never found the opportunity.

In a battle between two armies, food and grass are the key to victory.

He didn't have time to ask in detail, so he hurriedly sent people home to pack some things, and then set off quickly.

Along the way, he was extremely cautious, fearing that something might happen to the food.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly and the food was safely delivered to the border.

Qiao Chuanbai didn't say anything more, but he was a little unsure about his father's intentions.

Huo Hongye patted Qiao Chuanbai on the shoulder.

"No matter what happens, as long as the food is delivered safely and the soldiers will not go hungry, then we will not lose to the barbarians."

"As for everything else, you have to be more careful. Your father must have discovered something with this arrangement!"

In fact, Huo Hongye had a bold guess in his mind, but he couldn't say much until there was no evidence.

Not only Huo Hongye had speculations, but Qiao Chuanbai himself also had speculations.

My father asked his eldest uncle to bring the grain and grass first, and also took the waterway. Instead, he asked his second uncle, who was originally responsible for escorting the grain and grass, to continue escorting the grain along the originally planned route, and moved the time two days later.

This approach is obviously to prevent the second uncle from doing something!

But the second uncle has been very kind to him since he was a child. He will take him with him wherever he goes. Not only does he reason with him, but he also always protects him.

Later, even when his second uncle came to the border, he and his second uncle often kept in touch with each other through letters.

On the letter, the second uncle has always cared for him.

Even in the last battle, he was besieged by the enemy. The situation was urgent, and it was his second uncle who came on horseback to block the enemy's knife for him.

The second uncle rested for more than a month, and the wound is getting better.

He believed that his second uncle would never have any second thoughts about the court.

Since it's not the second uncle, maybe it's someone close to the second uncle, but it's just not convenient for the second uncle to know about it.

Qiao Chuanbai thinks this is the most likely possibility.

He arranged for his uncle and the food and fodder, and talked to his uncle before going back.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark.

By the time Qiao Chuanbai and his men returned to the camp, the camp had already lit up the brazier.

Qiao Chuanbai dismounted, threw the reins to the soldiers, and then walked towards his tent.

Outside, the soldiers brought out by Qiao Chuanbai also dispersed.

At this time, someone came over and asked them about the situation.

"What did you gain from going out this time?"

When Qiao Chuanbai's cronies heard this, they were extremely casual: "What can be gained? It's the same as before."

The other party seemed reluctant: "No way! If there is no harvest, why did you come back so late?"

The confidant rolled his eyes: "I used to go out for most of the day. This time I went out late and walked around the terrain. It's not the time to come back."

"I asked if there is any food left. We have been following General Qiao for a whole day and we are going to starve to death."

Seeing that he didn't ask for any useful information, the man also changed the subject: "Your food is reserved for you! Go and eat!"

Qiao Chuanbai's cronies heard this and left together.

They were Huo's army. Different from the soldiers brought by Qiao Chuanbai, they were trained by the General's Mansion and were sent by Mr. Huo to protect Qiao Chuanbai.

General Qiao gave the order when he came back.

Keep an eye out for people who come to them for information.

The group of people didn't know Qiao Chuanbai's intention, but they remained calm.

There was no communication along the way until we entered the barracks and picked up meals. There was no one in the barracks at this time, and a few people simply stayed in the barracks to eat.

They just need to clean up the barracks after eating.

At this time, one of the Huo family members spoke.

"The person who just came to us for information seems to be a close associate of Second Uncle Qiao! Do we still need to report this matter?"

The relationship between Qiao Chufeng and Qiao Chuanbai has always been very good.

The soldiers in the entire military camp saw it for all to see.

In addition, in the previous battle, Qiao Chufeng blocked a knife for Qiao Chuanbai, and it took him more than a month to recover from his injuries.

Maybe the cronies just care about Qiao Chuanbai.

"We will do whatever the general orders. We don't have to worry about anything else."

"Yes, we will do what the general orders."

As for the rest, it depends on the general's decision.

Qiao Chuanbai entered the camp.

Huo Yu was turning his sword and roasting the hare.

Huo Yu is truly the first to be able to roast a hare with a sword.

When he saw Qiao Chuanbai walking in, he immediately greeted him.

"Cousin, come on, this rabbit is cooked just right."

The skin of the roasted hare was browned and sizzling with oil, and condiments were sprinkled on it. The aroma of condiments mixed with the aroma of rabbit meat filled the entire camp.

Qiao Chuanbai happened to have nothing to eat, so he simply came over and sat across from Huo Yu.

Huo Yu handed over a rabbit leg and then spoke.

"How's the food going?"

"all the best."

"That's good. By the way, when will your second uncle come with the food and grass?"

"Probably the day after tomorrow."

Huo Yu did the math.

When he set off, Qiao Chufeng had not yet set off.

According to the itinerary, Qiao Chufeng set off one day later than him, and he also brought a large amount of food and grass, so his speed was naturally not much faster.

The day after tomorrow is indeed almost the same.

Thinking that Qiao Chufeng would kill Qiao Chufeng in the future, Huo Yu couldn't help but tentatively said: "Cousin, what do you think of your second uncle?"

"I've seen your topographic map. The place where you were robbed of food and grass is a place where barbarians have never been."

"You said he has never been there, so how did he know that your food and grass were passing by there! And he managed the time just right."

Qiao Chuanbai had just taken a bite of rabbit meat. When he heard his cousin say this, he couldn't help but look up: "What do you want to say?"

"Do you suspect there is something wrong with my second uncle?"

"This is impossible. If my second uncle had a problem and I was almost attacked by the enemy on the battlefield, he would not be able to save me."

Huo Yu choked.

Today he went out to inquire around. Qiao Chufeng had been really good to him since Qiao Chuanbai came.

Even his grandfather spoke highly of Qiao Chufeng.

But he believed what his cousin said, there was definitely something wrong with this Qiao Chufeng.

He had to think of a way to let his cousin see clearly what his second uncle was like.

Thinking that his cousin had reminded him that his second uncle had a deal with the barbarians in Cliff Valley, Huo Yu thought of a way.

"Cousin, why don't we make a bet?"

"I think if Uncle Qiao has any problems, he will definitely take action on this batch of grain."

"I have seen your topographic map before. This cliff valley is a good place. How about we take people to the cliff valley to see it in person?"
